Javier Hernandez is confident his first competitive goal for Manchester United
will provide just the confidence boost he needs.

The £7 million Mexican came off the bench to score an 85th-minute winner for United in Valencia on Wednesday night.

It was only United's second triumph in 19 attempts against Spanish opposition on Spanish soil and more importantly put them back on track for a place in the Champions League last 16 after a stuttering start to their campaign against Rangers a fortnight ago.

And for Hernandez, it was a goal to savour.

"The goal will give me so much confidence," he said. "I am only at the start of my career with United and to score so early in the Champions League is a big boost.

"I always used to watch the Champions League when I was back home in Mexico.
